Listen To This: You Want A Piece Of It!

Filed under: Listen To This

If you love Röyksopp, Peter Bjorn and John or Gnarls Barkley, then you will LOVE Miike Snow. They make really cool (some might say "hipster") music that we think can cross over to the mainstream.

What's especially surprising for the band - given their sound - is that Miike Snow is actually a side project of Bloodshy & Avant, the Swedish producers and songwriters responsible for some of Britney Spears' biggest hits, like Toxic and Piece of Me. They've also worked with Madonna and Kylie Minogue, among others.

Miike Snow sounds like nothing you would expect from Bloodshy & Avant - and we kinda like that!

Check out two of our favoritest songs off their new album, Animal and Song For No One, below. Than CLICK HERE to listen to more music from Miike Snow.

      Welcome to Swedish pop, Perez. There are dozens of bands like this. Try the Mary Onettes, Sambassadeur, everyone on Labrador Records, etc.

      Um, No gaylord - I do not want ANY piece of that. You have the worst taste in music ever all the way from Lady Caca to wannabe Mika. Stick with what youre good at - being an flaming asshole.

      it sounds like kids who figured out how to hit four notes on a keyboard

      this is music? try finding people that can do more than sing on key and switch up the tones on the keyboard

      I dont really like it
      I normally dont like that type of music anyway..



    15. 15

      Mario you have horrible taste in music.



    16. 16

      You're a little slow off the mark with this band Perez. They have been playing in the UK for a while now.

    18. 18

      Re: LizardKinG – that was music?



    19. 19

      You should have put their song "Sylvia" up!! That one is the jam. Jason Bentley broke these guys in L.A…. so good.



    20. 20

      haha! I like it! i can relate. its makes me happy.



    21. 21

      Loved Röyksopp's album. This sounds ok.
      The voice and music on first track reminds me of Peter Gabriel, not Röyksopp.



    22. 22

      hm. this is really really old news.

      this is been out for at least a year ……. perez, you're really freakin' late on this one.

      sorry kids.
      this is old stuff.



    23. 23

      Röyksopp are on my top ten. This was OK, but I have to say the catch keeps coming up in my mind!



    24. 24

      This music will be in a few "sleeper hits" flicks starring B-listers and both Miike and B-listers shall profit.



    25. 25

      Re: Obnoxious_Joe – OMG Ditto!

      I love Miike Snow! I'm so glad you're giving them good press! They're great.



    37. 37

      Sorry P-this sounds nothing like PB&J or N.Bark. Sounds more like Vampire Weekend. Is it just me or have your music picks sucked lately? Seems like you have sold out a bit on the music front. Mayb it's just me.



    38. 38

      the only band you have every promoted on here that is worth a shit is the Avett Brothers and the only reason you saw them is you stumbled upon them at SBSW, because you're too retarded to find anything good one you own, cue E news!

      ….artsy-fartsy garbage !
